Sea Glass Summer (Seashell Harbor series #2) by Miranda Liasson review

My Review

Sea Glass Summer is the second book in the Seashell Harbor series. The first book, Coming Home to Seashell Harbor is Hadley and Cam’s story. Sea Glass Summer is Kit, Alex and Ollie’s story. Ollie is a sweet little boy, five years old. He is the son of Kit and her late husband Carson. He was a strong protector but never made it back from his military mission. Grieving Kit moved herself and her son into her parents house for support mentally but after three years there she is ready for them to have some breathing room and her to get on with her life.
The fixer upper Victorian beach house her late husband owns is a total money drain but she vows to put everything she has into it to fix it up and sell it. She’s noticed her son has lagging confidence and frankly she does as well. She’s convinced being out on their on will help this tremendously.
Grieving deeply for her husband she promises herself she will do all she can to keep her husband’s memory alive for her son.
Fixing the beach house has taken more money than she realizes so when her husband’s best friend Alex offers to help with the repairs at cost she finds it’s an offer she can’t refuse.
Alex is grieving right along with Kit because he and Carson have been best friends for so long.
Spending so much time with Alex she finds herself falling for him and he has had feelings for her for forever but with her being married never acted on them.
I love how the relationship between Kit and Alex moves slowly and respectfully. He loves Ollie and includes him in many things. All looks great in this relationship until Kit finds out a secret Alex has been keeping and it devastates her. Will the relationship be able to recover and go back to where it was? This book is so down to earth,homey and realistic. It brought me to tears a few times.
I highly recommend it!

GoodReads Synopsis

Kit Blakemore is ready to live again. After her husband died while serving in the military, she was in a haze of grief. Now she wants to reclaim her former self—finish her degree and find a better career to provide for their sweet little boy, Oliver. To do that, she’ll need to sell her late husband’s dilapidated Victorian in Seashell Harbor. But first, Kit intends to give Ollie the kind of unforgettable seaside summer she had growing up, making lifelong memories and friendships.

Of course, nothing goes exactly as she planned. Ollie is struggling with his confidence, and frankly, so is Kit. But everything changes when her husband’s best friend, Alex de la Cruz, returns to town, offering to help her renovate. She doesn’t expect Alex to temporarily move in…or for him to bond with Ollie…or for her numb heart to begin thawing. Slowly he’s helping Kit and Ollie heal, and it scares her to death.

Kit swore she wouldn’t leave herself open to the pain of loss again. But if she’s going to teach her son to be brave and move forward, Kit must first face her own fears.
